FAQs
The price to purchase and install a new furnace or AC unit is relatively similar. However, it’s important to look past your initial investment by budgeting for the costs of operation and maintenance. Generally, furnaces will be more expensive to maintain than air conditioners because they require more energy to heat your home, resulting in higher energy bills.
If your residential property is approximately 1,500 square feet in size, you’ll need a furnace with an output of 40,000-90,000 BTUs (British thermal units) to distribute adequate heat throughout your home. Our HVAC experts can inspect your property and recommend a suitable furnace size based on your preferences and budget!
The cost of installing a new furnace or air conditioner in your home will depend on the size of your home, the type of unit you buy, and the age and condition of your home’s ductwork. For your convenience, Shift Heating & Cooling Services Ltd offers detailed estimates and same-day installation for furnaces and AC units!
The exact lifespan of your furnace will depend on certain factors, including the type of furnace, the size of your home, and maintenance frequency. Scheduling regular maintenance from a licenced technician is key to extending your furnace’s lifespan. In Servicing Columbia Valley & East Kootenays climate, gas furnaces typically last around 15-20 years, while electric units can last up to 30 years with proper care.
At Shift Heating And Cooling Services our seasoned professionals offer preventative maintenance plans to extend the longevity of your unit and keep your furnace operating at its best!
The cost of residential HVAC services varies significantly between homeowners, making it tricky to put a price tag on heating and cooling services. For example, the cost of replacing an air conditioner or furnace is different from installing a boiler or ductless mini-split system. The total cost will depend on several factors, including:
- The type of service (installation, repair, or maintenance)
- The type and quality of the product
- The complexity of the project
- The size of your home
- Past maintenance frequency
- Any existing damage to your property
Keep in mind that the upfront investment is just one part of HVAC costs. While it’s important to consider the price of installation, it’s equally important to budget for long-term operation and maintenance costs.
At Shift Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, we offer detailed estimates to give you a better understanding of pricing based on your property’s unique specifications.
